Chapter 280: The Tang Dynasty is established, and the shallow water plain is defeated


In the end, with the destruction of the grain road, the morale of the entire army of the Liang division collapsed Subsequently, under Li Shimin's military attack, Liang Shidu's power perished.

Liang Shidu wanted to flee north, but on the way to escape, he was ambushed by Li Dian and died in ambush For a while, after more than a month, the Li army, under the leadership of Li Shimin, destroyed the Liang Shidu.

Extending its territory westward, Yan'an, Huaihua and other counties are now under Li's rule.

With the victory of the Western Expedition, this could not help but give the Chang'an court a booster.

It also made many soldiers of the Western Expedition high morale and blood boiling After completely annihilating the capital headquarters of the Liang Division and capturing its occupation of Yanzhou and other places, Li Shimin and his staff analyzed the situation and decisively proposed to suspend the march.

Now, the Li clan has wiped out the forces of Liang Shidu in the Guanlong region with all his might, and he has truly secured Guanlong.

However, although Li Shimin was able to quickly sweep the Liang Division, it has a certain relationship with his knowledge of soldiers and good fighting.

But this is also the reason why Liang Shidu is weaker than the Li family.

And now, Xue Ju, who claims to be the overlord of Western Qin in Longxi, has captured Qinzhou, and his troops are in full swing.

Today, the Qin army has 130,000 troops and is strong.

In addition, its territory is the source of war horses, so most of its soldiers are cavalry, and their combat effectiveness is very high.

On the other hand, Li's army is just a foot soldier, and the time to become an army is still short.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Li Shimin chose to stop marching.

After all, now that his own strength is far inferior to the Qin army, he is only afraid of making a mistake if he rashly attacks.

After Li Shimin stabilized the situation in Yanzhou, he ordered the withdrawal of the army.

Eventually, as the Li clan pacified all parts of Guanlong, his prestige grew day by day It is only said that after the Li family gradually took control of the Guanlong region, the ambition in Li Yuan's heart gradually swelled at this time.

More and more attention was paid to the supreme emperor's throne.

For a time, the ministers under his command, led by Pei Lin and Liu Wenjing, entered the palace one after another to ask to see Yang You.

It's just that it's a request to see, but it's just a forced palace After all, Yang You was just a puppet emperor set up by Li Yuan, and he didn't have any real power to speak of.

At this time, all the ministers knelt down one after another, and then Liu Wenjing took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, Tang King Li Yuan has made outstanding contributions. ” "Since marching into Guanlong to escort His Majesty, he has led the army to travel around and pacify Guanlong."

"Your Majesty, on the other hand, is just above the temple every day, and he talks about it rhetorically, and he has no merit."

"Now the people of Guanlong have praised the talent of King Tang."

"Therefore, Weichen thinks that His Majesty should follow the example of the ancient Shengxian and cede the throne to the King of Tang."

As Liu Wenjing's Huayin just fell, Pei Lin on the side also bowed down and pleaded.

Immediately afterwards, many ministers knelt on the ground and knelt down to admonish Yang Youchan.

Let's just say that Yang You is only fifteen years old now, how can he see this aura now.

For a while, there was nothing to do about the courtiers' forced palace.

"Your Majesty, the King of Tang is here" For a moment, just when the situation was at a stalemate, Li Yuan, the Tang King who led the government, swirled his sword and strode into the palace with his head held high.

Immediately, all the ministers scattered in two places, and they were not all admonished.

At this time, Li Yuan looked around at the ministers on both sides and pretended to look angrily Then he slowly walked to the dragon chair where Yang You was sitting, looked at the ministers on both sides, and said angrily: "Whoever is weak in the future and dares to persecute Your Majesty will definitely be killed."

In an instant, I saw Li Yuan instantly pull out the long sword in his waist and slash at the imperial pillar on the side.

For a while, all the ministers were shocked by Li Yuan's angry look.

"Your Majesty, you are frightened today" "What are you still doing, help Your Majesty go back to bed and rest."

For a while, I saw Li Yuan glaring at the attendants on both sides and shouting.

In an instant, Yang You was brought in by two eunuchs.

For a while, the ministers in the palace Jin and Li Yuan laughed heartily In fact, this is a play played by Li Yuan and the ministers.

Its purpose was simply for Li Yuan to prove that he was a loyal servant of Sui.

Although Li Yuan coveted the throne of the Son of Heaven.

But in order to seize the legitimacy of the throne, Li Yuan performed with all the ministers.

It is only said that in the end, after Yang You's third resignation to the throne, Li Yuan finally chose to accept Yang You's concession for the third time.

Immediately after, Yang Youchan conceded to Li Yuan, and Li Yuan officially proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an.

The name of the country was in the Tang Dynasty, referred to as the Tang Dynasty, and the yuan was changed to "Wude", and then 619 was the first year of Wude.

Subsequently, Li Yuan officially announced that Datang would take Chang'an as its capital.

And in the next, Li Yuan also made a big feud with the vassals.

Among them, Liu Wenjing shot left and right, and Pei Lin was Shang Shuling.

The rest of the ministers were rewarded according to their merits and performed their duties In the end, the eldest son Li Jiancheng became the crown prince and inherited the unification.

With the second son Li Shimin as the king of Qin, he can open the government and recruit staff.

In the end, the third son Li Yuanba was the king of Xifu Zhao, and the fourth son Li Yuanji was the king of Qi.

And his eldest daughter Li Xiuning was named the lord of Anping County of the Tang Dynasty and Mrs.

Yipin Qinzhou, West Qin It is only said that with Li Yuan's self-proclaimed emperor, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

As the overlord of Western Qin, how could Xue Ju be left behind Immediately, Xue Ju, the overlord of Western Qin, also ascended the throne and established himself as the emperor, founding the Great Qin, known as Western Qin in history, with Qinzhou as the capital.

Subsequently, after Xue Ju became emperor, he gathered a large army on a large scale, and the troops pointed directly at the Guanlong area of Li Tang's center of gravity.

For a while, a layer of haze suddenly unfolded in the Guanlong area Now, with the invasion of Xue Ju, the largest force in Qinzhou.

For a while, the newly established empire of the Tang Dynasty couldn't help but fall into a crisis.

In the end, after deliberation, Li Yuan decided to continue to take Li Shimin, the king of Qin, as the generalissimo of the expedition to the west, and set out on the expedition.

Immediately, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, personally led 40,000 Tang troops to fight to meet the Qin army.

However, in the end, the situation turned out to be unexpected, because the Don army actually suffered a great defeat in the shallow water plain.

Among them, the generals of the Tang Army, Murong Luohu and Li Anyuan, were killed in battle, and Liu Hongji was captured.

For a time, the Tang soldiers were defeated, and five or six out of ten of the Tang soldiers died Subsequently, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, packed up the remnants of his army overnight and fled back to Chang'an.

In fact, this fiasco was not Li Shimin's fault.

Because during the march, Li Shimin inadvertently contracted malaria.

Therefore, in order to recuperate, Li Shimin temporarily handed over the command to Yin Kaishan and Liu Wenjing.

It's just that Yin Kaishan and Liu Wenjing didn't listen to Li Shimin's instructions and insisted on fighting.

In the end, Xue Ju sent an elite cavalry to the rear of the Tang army and launched an attack on it.

For a while, the Tang army, which was in disarray, was defeated At this time, Li Shimin was powerless and had to lead the remnants to retreat.

Immediately, Xue Ju took advantage of the victory to occupy the city of Gaoji.

For a while, the first battle since the founding of the Tang Dynasty ended in a big defeat.

Subsequently, Xue Ju even ordered the captured Tang soldiers to cut off their tongues and noses and humiliate them to death.

Tens of thousands of dead bodies of the Tang army were piled up into a mountain, sealed with soil, and a "Jingguan" was created to deter the Tang Dynasty.

In an instant, the fledgling Tang Dynasty encountered an unprecedented crisis.

There is a possibility of being attacked and annexed by the Western Qin army at any time.

The great chaos of the end of the Sui Dynasty called :
